[jrock]

the 4x4wire writeup shows u how to do the bearing without the fab'd tool. SLAM...da da da...Ill ask my toy mech if he does them 2 nite. hes in OC as am i. he works as mech at toy 27 yrs..does side stuff at his house. otherwise ive got a guy in simi for this...$60 a side i think.

the only bearings to be used should be those from toyota. grapevine of texas pricing below.

90363-40020-77 bearing 53.81

The seal on the axle housing is easy to replace, its the one on the shaft thats the issue and will need pressing.

One on the housing all you gotta do is unbolt the axle and rear wheel cylinder and go to town. Only need basic hand tools too.

WOW longo toyota out here wants $90 each bearing and like $8 for each seal and like $5 for the o-rings!? thats like more than 30% of what you listed for grapevine toyota. When i said these prices are from a dealership in texas they said "impossible thats below cost". Needless to say I walked away and now shopping online.

ya just call up texas toyota of grapevine parts...i think his name is Robert. Something about Texas dealerships not being part of toyota usa...or maybe its just the taxes...they are cheaper than a san diego dealer even with 20% off!!!!!!!

BTW, i just remembered, i got the seals at NAPA. The bearings are really the only part to get from toyota.

Napa bearings are chinese...machinist whom replaces them say there a no go.

texas toyota is part of gulf states toyota network. theres another in the florida region called Southeast if i recall correctly.

That's because in China they are called beallings!
